We, the internet's natives, will filter by quality, relevance, work, social graph proximity, and cost, but we will lose our ability to filter by human. In the few internet commons that survive, good humans and good bots will coexist.
This is very insightful. Future internet interactions won't be defined by human/non-human, but by whatever heuristics we use to try and identify humans.
The only counterargument I can see if some form of KYC becomes widespread that is based on provably human biomarkers. I'm not sure what that'd be, but I guess Sam Altman's WorldCoin idea had something to do with the iris.
I'm not sure which future is worse: the one where humans must prove they are human, or the one where no one can be sure if the thing they're interacting with online is human.
